DRUNK DRIVING SEEN AS ELECTION ISSUE

THIS ELECTION I would like to bring up an issue that has been ignored, yet may be more important than most. Drunk driving has cost Americans more than 20,000 lives a year. Two candidates for City Council have been convicted of DUI. How can they say that they favor tougher laws when they have not obeyed current laws?
